Former PBA director to join local developer

Dale Smith, former CEO of the Public Building Authority of Knoxville/Knox County, will join Buzz Goss, the president of Marble Alley Development, as partner on new projects such as the Caledonia Flats at Marble Alley, and others in early planning stages.

The announcement came in a news release Wednesday.

Goss and Smith plan to focus on urban mixed-use and multifamily projects, primarily in Knoxville, according to the release.

'Having known (Smith) for 15 years,' Goss said in the release, 'I have grown to appreciate his professionalism and integrity; his skill sets and experience are a perfect fit.'

Smith sounded similar hopes for the partnership's potential.

'I'm honored that (Goss) invited me to be his partner,' Smith said in the release. 'He set a new standard of excellence in downtown residential development with the Marble Alley Lofts project, and I look forward to working with him on similar projects.'

Goss has been a design architect and a project manager architect on projects such as the historic Burwell Building in Knoxville, home of the Tennessee Theater, The Exchange Lofts on Church Street in downtown Nashville and the Jackson Ateliers in Knoxville.

Smith served as CEO of PBA from March 1, 2000 until Jan. 1. During that time PBA completed over $500 million in construction projects for Knoxville and Knox County. Projects included the Knoxville Convention Center & World's Fair Park redevelopment, Regal Riviera 8 Cinema, East Tennessee Historical Center addition, Hardin Valley High School, the Juvenile Justice Center, and the Knoxville Transit Center.
